12 common questions answered

Where is the engine air filter located on a 2020 Kia Soul?

The 2020 Kia Soul engine air filter sits in a rectangular airbox in the engine bay on the intake side of the 2.0L inline-4.

You can access the airbox by opening the hood and locating the intake housing near the front corner of the compartment. The housing is secured with clips or screws and feeds the 2.0L (engine code 4INAG2.0). Keeping this filter clean helps preserve the Soul’s 147 hp performance and fuel economy on Burlington and Boston commutes.

  • Engine: 2.0L inline-4 (regular unleaded)
  • Typical housing: rectangular airbox with clips/screws
  • Location: intake side of the engine bay
Where is the cabin air filter on a 2020 Kia Soul?

The 2020 Kia Soul cabin air filter is typically located behind the glove box in the HVAC intake path.

Lower the glove box and release the side stops to expose the cabin filter access panel. This filter cleans incoming air for passengers and is especially helpful during New England pollen seasons and along Route 3/I‑95 corridors. If you prefer a technician replacement, you can schedule service at Herb Chambers Kia of Burlington.

  • Typical access: glove box removal
  • Function: filters HVAC air for the cabin
  • Service area: Burlington, Woburn, Waltham, and greater Boston
What's the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2020 Kia Soul?

The engine air filter protects the 2.0L intake for combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans the air that enters the passenger HVAC system.

On the 2020 Kia Soul, the engine filter sits under the hood and helps the inline‑4 maintain power and efficiency. The cabin filter, mounted behind the glove box, reduces dust and pollen inside the vehicle—valuable during Massachusetts allergy seasons. Both filters improve day‑to‑day driving around Burlington and Boston.

  • Engine filter: intake protection for performance and MPG
  • Cabin filter: passenger comfort and air quality
  • Locations: engine bay (engine), behind glove box (cabin)
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2020 Kia Soul?

Common signs include reduced power or rough idle (engine filter) and weak HVAC airflow or musty odors (cabin filter).

If your 2020 Kia Soul’s 2.0L feels sluggish on Route 128 or fuel economy drops, inspect the engine air filter. Inside the cabin, diminished fan output or odors point to a saturated cabin filter. For a quick check and OEM‑spec replacement in Burlington, book a schedule service appointment and review service specials.

  • Engine symptoms: hesitation, lower MPG, rough idle
  • Cabin symptoms: weak airflow, dust, musty smell
  • Local factors: pollen bursts and road dust increase loading
Can I replace the air filters on my 2020 Kia Soul myself, or should Herb Chambers Kia of Burlington do it?

The engine air filter is typically DIY-friendly, while the cabin filter often requires glove-box removal and benefits from a dealer inspection.

Many owners can unclip the 2020 Kia Soul’s airbox and swap the engine element. The cabin filter requires panel access and careful fitment. Our Burlington team also inspects the intake housing and visually checks the MAF area, then installs Genuine Kia parts. You can schedule service online and check service specials.

How many air filters does a 2020 Kia Soul have?

Replacing both at proper intervals supports performance and comfort on Massachusetts roads. If you’re unsure which needs service, our Burlington team can inspect both during one appointment.
